We’ve started a new, quasi-regular column on the Blog titled “Under The Tents”. The title is symbolic, as it’s representative of the times we all line up under the tents waiting for those big moments to happen inside Hall H or Ballroom 20.

The official AMC blog has revealed some information about Breaking Bad offsites at Comic Con this year. Creator Vince Gilligan will be doing a signing on Saturday from 5:30PM-7PM at the Goorin Brother’s store, while actor Aaron Paul will be signing autographs at Urban Outfitters (665 Fifth Ave) on Saturday from 11:15AM-12:15PM. There will also be a fan appreciation event at the Hard Rock Hotel 207 Lounge on Sunday, starting at 1:30PM.

Evangeline Lilly has released her signing schedule, to promote her upcoming children’s book The Squickerwonkers, and also with Weta Workshop Creative Director Richard Taylor for signing of Weta’s range of Hobbit collectibles, including a very limited edition of Tauriel’s daggers prop replicas. The following singing dates and times will take place at the Weta booth, #3513B:

Thursday, July 18th: 11AM-12PM and 4-5PM

Hello Kitty is on her way to San Diego! The official Hello Kitty Facebook page gave attendees this update of her entourage packed and ready to go to Comic-Con.

What could it be? Why, it’s Syfy’s Helix, of course, from Battlestar Galactica‘s Ron Moore.

The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly is its annual Comic-Con preview, and Sony Picture’s Carrie is listed in its “Comic-Con Movies” section, along with having its own cover. Might we expect the remake to be part of the Sony Pictures panel on Friday, or perhaps an offsite? We’ll know for certain, soon.

Also listed in the section is the upcoming Tom Cruise sci-fi action film All You Need Is Kill, which is also listed in Warner Bros.’ signing schedule on Saturday. We’d say this means the film will definitely be making an appearance.
